This is what happens when a 53' Semi-Truck is on the Tail Of The Dragon, they are to long to stay in their own lane which causes huge problems. We were on our last run of the day when our friends in the red Miata saw the truck and reacted appropriately, however my friend in the silver Eunos did not have enough time to react resulting a fairly serious fender bender. The first bike that is behind the truck was also run off the road, he was following the truck to make sure he didn't just drive away.

Side Note - GoPros are strong as hell... the GoPro on the front of the silver Eunos is still functional!

Anything over 30 ft is not allowed. The first motorcycle following the truck was run off the road by the truck. He was following and pulled him over at a safe point. The police ticketed the truck driver heavily.

That's not necessarily true. While a truck driver will get a ticket for going on the dragon, there are no signs up clearly stating that truck drivers must choose another route. There are just advisory signs warning them to choose another route. Things like this need to be made clearer.

And the actual truck ban on US129 is on the NC side. The Dragon is in TN, and they haven't yet banned trucks from using 129.
